1. All members are highly encouraged to pursue at least one Special
Assignment during their career. These career broadening assignments
provide members valuable opportunities to represent their Ratings,
network, and learn about other operational and mission support
activities, making them ideal candidates for future assignments to
highly visible leadership and management positions (e.g. Silver Badge,
OIC, School Chief).
2. This message solicits candidates and outlines the application process
for members interested in a special duty assignment as a Company Chief
at the Coast Guard Academy, New London, CT. The Coast Guard Academy
(CGA) prepares young men and women to become commissioned officers to
lead in the Coast Guard and is our Service’s sole federal service
academy. As such, the CGA provides a rigorous undergraduate education,
collegiate athletic experience, and 200-week military leader
development program. It is a highly selective institution and home to
a Corps of Cadets of over 1,000 who come from diverse backgrounds,
including international cadets. The ideal Company Chief wants to
develop their skills as both an equity-minded and inclusive leader and
positively impact the future Coast Guard officer corps. Company Chiefs
are role models in creating a positive command climate and strongly
influence how cadets will lead as officers and how capable they will
be at balancing mission requirements while taking care of a diverse
total workforce. Company Chiefs advise and guide these young men and
women through tough interpersonal, accountability, and leadership
challenges leveraging their experiences in the operational Coast Guard
and their deep commitment to the Core Values. Company Chiefs serve as
role models, mentors, and facilitators of the Chase Hall Leader
Development Practicum. This requires baseline knowledge of the Coast
Guard’s diversity and inclusion goals, CG leadership models/theories
and the ability to train and coach cadets in the practice of this
knowledge. As leadership practitioners, Company Chiefs bring operational
expertise and relevance to the day-to-day activities of the regiment and
by their personal example, set the highest standards of appearance,
professionalism, moral, ethical, and social conduct. Ultimately, the role
of the Company Chief is to provide an understanding of the strengths of
the enlisted work force with whom cadets will work with and rely upon for
the rest of their careers. Company Chiefs receive Special Duty Assignment
Pay AP-2.
